Get REAL! Digital Media Literacy Toolkit
In our media saturated culture, it is hard to escape the onslaught of messages about our bodies.To help counteract media’s potential influence on normalizing unrealistic body standards, students from California State University, Northridge (CSUN) partnered with the National Eating Disorders Association on a civic engagement project to create a Digital Media Literacy Toolkit. The Get REAL! Toolkit features interactive activities to think critically about the body image messages we see, hear and read in the digital media culture every day. It’s perfect for educators or youth programmers who want to improve media literacy among young people.
Special thank you to Bobbie Eisenstock, PhD and her students for their hard work on this project.
